Just for fun- Wish I was a Glow worm 

by Tammy Maddux.

Supplies needed: Dark brown, cream, and orange 8 1/2"x 11" card stock *Multi colored striped pattern paper (used here from Hot off the Press pack) *Stamps from DRS (#1044d glow worm and #1048g words in cling) and a clear block *Yellow stickles (glitter glue) * Black ink (graphite black Brilliance) *Smooch ink in sundance, moonlight, kiwi, green apple, and lettuce *clear star glitter pen by Gelly roll *Orange ribbon 1/4" wide *Adhesive of choice *Black extra fine sharpie *Die cutting machine (Cuttlebug) *Spellbinder dies (Ironworks motifs s5-059 and large octagons) *Xyron 1.5" sticker maker *paper trimmer.


Instructions: Stamp bug and words on cream card stock (leave space between for cutting) with black ink. Cut words in a rectangle as close as possible and set aside. Use octagon die closest to size of bug and cut out with bug in center of die. Color bug with Smooch ink as desired. Use the glitter pen to color wings and to go over the outlines to add sparkle. Also, use glitter pen over the letters in the words. Set the bug aside after adding the Stickles to its tail (added sparkle) to let set.  Mat words on orange card stock leaving a small boarder and set aside.   Use med medallion die and cut out in orange card stock. Adhere bug onto medallion and set aside.
                                Cut dark brown to 5 1/2"x 8 1/2" to make card base and fold in half. Cut pattern paper to 4 1/8"x 5 3/8" then into squares about 1 1/8"x1 1/8". Adhere squares on card base in an alternating pattern to form a patchwork look, edges may not aline and that's OK. Using Xyron, run ribbon through to add adhesive and place about 1" from opening of card. Now adhere words to upper right just over the ribbon and the medallion to the left. Write own message inside card and done.


Hope you enjoy this fun card and keep smiling.
